The UN Human Rights Council has adopted a resolution that calls for the protection of human rights from the impacts of climate change, with the support of the US... The resolution focused on two specific issues. Firstly... [i]t insisted on the recognition of existing obligations under international law for governments and businesses to protect the rights and best interests of children when taking climate action....Governments also addressed the specific challenges related to the protection of the rights of climate-induced migrants... The recognition by the US of the importance of continuing work on this issue contrasted with Trump’s speech three weeks ago, which framed the Paris Agreement as an injustice against the US economy... “As we said previously on this topic, the effects of climate change have a range of implications for the effective enjoyment of human rights. On this basis we join consensus,” said... US Representative John Mack... However Mack did raise concerns about references to the Paris deal in the Council resolution. In one of the few contentious parts of the negotiations, the US said the Human Rights Council should not interfere with the formal UN climate negotiations, a risk the US saw as encouraged in the eventual resolution.
